If travelling between June and September it is very likely you will get to see some giants of the ocean, the Southern Right Whales. A pod of about 100 whales come every year to this area to give birth to whale calves. There is no need for a boat trip as the whales come right close to the sheer drop of the cliffs and use the sheltered waters below as their resting spot. This is a truly spellbinding sight and difficult to tear yourself away from these creatures as they breach, roll and tail slap just off the shore below.

We stop at the Wombat/Camel/Kangaroo sign and you can have your picture taken with Australia’s signature postcard. We drive onto the Nullarbor Plain and across the dingo fence while travelling through Yalata Aboriginal lands. In the afternoon we are heading to the Ceduna Arts and Cultural Centre.
